***Attention Clients: Please be aware there are special requirements when shipping/purchasing cork glue down tiles and the liquids during winter months. Surcharge of $35 “Winterizing Package and Fast Shipping” per gallon has included in Loba 2K Supra AT or Wakol D3540 during cold months. These liquids are temperature sensitive and will become defective if exposed to temperatures below 5 Celsius (40F). Shipping water-based products during winter months is less than ideal. We do our best to keep product from freezing during transport. It is the client’s responsibility to bring all liquids in side at the time of delivery and inspect the liquids at time of delivery (open the carton to ensure the product is still in liquid form). Should product arrive “frozen” (in a solid state – not liquid) or damaged, iCork Floor must be notified within 48 hours of delivery. Failure to inform iCork Floor inside of 48 hours of damaged/frozen product negates the client’s ability to file a claim for replacement product with iCork Floor, Cancork Floor or Forna. ***Liquids such as Adhesive and Polyurethane are NON-REFUNDABLE PURCHASES. NO credit will be given for liquids returned to us.
